Mission Statement

To protect the natural heritage, rural character, and historic landscapes of Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester counties, by assisting landowners to discover, evaluate, and implement any of the available land preservation options.

Description

The Lower Shore Land Trust (LSLT) works with individual landowners who wish to protect the natural heritage of their properties, so that the character of the land and the quality of life it nourishes remains intact for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations.

We assist landowners who wish to protect, in perpetuity, habitat necessary to sustain a diverse and healthy wildlife population, natural buffers that maintain water quality, and preserved scenic vistas and landscapes surrounding sites of historical and cultural importance. We wish to ensure that sufficient lands remain to support forestry and agriculture as viable industries on the Lower Eastern Shore.
